How to Write a Salary Negotiation Email: Example and Template

March 15, 2024

If we’ve got one piece of valuable advice for job seekers it’s this: negotiate a salary offer.

Negotiating an extra $ 5K per year can make a huge difference over time. A 25-year-old, who entered the market at $ 35K will earn about $ 1.16 million more over 35 years (assuming annual 5% raises), compared to one who agreed to $ 30K.

(But of course, you can and must negotiate your salary with every new position!)

This post shows how to write a salary negotiation email to an extended job offer to secure a higher starting pay.

I’ve reflected on your offer and would like to explore a higher base pay of $ 100K. If you can bridge the gap, I’d be happy to sign right away.

It’s official — you’ve passed all the interview rounds, accepted the job offer, and done a new professional title. You should feel as happy as a kid on a sugar high (especially in the current job market). Instead, you feel as miserable as if you’ve been stepping on a Lego brick every night for three weeks in a row.

And here comes the tough, but possibly right decision: Calling it quits. But how do you quit a job you’ve just started without leaving a foul first impression? Here’s our take.

Is It Bad to Quit a Job After a Week?

The decision to quit a job you’ve just started is neither particularly bad nor uncommon. Almost 30% of workers decide if the job is a right fit for them in the first week and another 40% — during the first month.
